Final Report - FEUFAR (The future of European fisheries and aquaculture research)

Abstract

This is the final activity report of the FEUFAR project, which was funded under the European Commission's Sixth Framework Programme (FP6). The project aimed to facilitate sustainable exploitation and farming of aquatic resources through the definition of the necessary midterm research in the sector.

The report firstly provides a graphical overview of the project structure and describes the employed methodology in order to analyse the fisheries and aquaculture system and identify research priorities needs. The applied techniques to mobilise stakeholders' intervention and formulate hypotheses are also presented. Furthermore, the document distinguishes between different components of the system, refers to thematic development proposals and closes with a list of the alternative paths to access the produced knowledge.
